Industrial airfield as a separate type?
[edit]Ladies and gentlemen, we may have missing some common types here. First of all, this category should be in line with the "public/private/military" parameter of the Template:Infobox airport (or the other way around). Then, there is a substantial number of industrial airfileds (some of them featuring long runways) that are neither airports nor airbases. This is particularly true for Ukraine: the Sviatoshyn Airfield is certainly neither of those, and the Hostomel Airport is too, I suspect. As I found out from Ukrainian Wikipedia, several major airbases here became de-facto industrial airstrips as only the civilian maintenance companies created to serve the air force units survive there. Finally, the Mojave Spaceport and some Airbus facilities are essentially industrial airfields and not public airports. Happy edits, Ukrained2012 (talk) 04:15, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
